Description
Farmyard manure effect on the productivity of five fodder beet varieties grown on sandy soil was investigated during three successive seasons. It was revealed from the results that FYM can effectively convert the non-productive sandy soil to a relatively productive soil. FYM application resulted in an increase of 145, 97, 55, 40, 39 and 43% for dry matter. Fresh matter, germination percentage, plant height, root length and root diameter, respectively, averaged over varieties and seasons.
